J MED ENG TECHNOL , 1997, vol. 21, n° 3-4, p. 96-106 Doc n°: 81016 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : MA - GERONTOLOGIE An ambulatory acceleration monitor was developed and used to evaluate physical activity in the elderly. The ECG and accelerations at the wrist, waist and ankle were recorded, and the heart rate and frequency and amplitude of accelerations per unit time were evaluated in both working and retired elderly women performing normal daily activities. The heart rate closely performing normal daily activities. The heart rate closely paralleled wrist acceleration. The behaviour patterns of the subjects could be differentiated by time interval signals and histogram distributions. This system appears to be an effective method of understanding and describing the characteristic activities of the elderly in a quantitative and objective fashion.
